SHAKE, BROTHER CLARENCe.-Mr.
e. w. Hawvermale has purchased the
whole interest in the Berkeley Springs
NelcS and makes a pretty bow to the
good people of Morgan County for their
patronage and assistance.
Hon. FRANK BECKwITH was nomi-
mated for the State Senate, by the Dem
ocrats of Jefferson county, last Tues
day. He is Lucas man and downed
the caucus element, Little Daniel, the
Great, scores another victory.
TEAMS filed with household furni-
| ture and kitchen utensils blockaded the
street all week. But now. moving day
is over and the great public heart is
restful. Peace, gentle dove, has not
vet settled on all the family affairs. The
eagle of discord must have put in some
of its fine work, judging from the num-
Der of lacerated faces visible to the max
ed eye.
Mr.. B. f. PERKINS, who for the past
four weeks has been sojourning at the
St. Clair Hotel, where he made many
friends and acquaintance, left on Tues
day last for a new field of operation.
He represented the creamery firm of
Messrs Davis 81 Rankin, of Chicago
and was here placing the machinery in
the creamery of the Messrs. Thatchers.
MASTER EUGENE HOLLIS met with
a serious loss to himself in the death,
by poison, of one of his goats. 1t was
| poisoned on his fathers premises, as
they had not been out of the lot for
about two weeks Eggs and lard were
given it, but too late to save it, and af,
ter pitiful struggle for life, death end
ed its misery and Eugene mourns the
| loss of faithful friend, as he had own
ed the team for little over three years.
This makes the third animal that Mr..
Hollis has reasons to believe was pois.
oned. The first was fine calf, the
next valuable young cow, and now he
loses goat,
Written for the INDEPENDENT.
From north and south, from east and
west,
Comes throngs of buyers eager,
Because our prices are the best,
| To suit the means when meager.
Here comes the tolling artisans,
To save an honest penny,
| The horney handed farmer, too
To seek the bargains many.
The rich and poor they throng our door
Each one the chance embraces
They buy their goods, and from our
store,
Go home with happy faces.
We wage war on prices high,
Our banners are now unfurled
With mammoth stock and prices low,
We surely can beat the world
The writers of this poetry,
Are merchants that you know,
ANA tDe nelgnC or tnelr amDltlOn
Is to lay the prices low.
The readers learn this lesson
Without thinking very hard,
And the fullest information
Is given on this card.
